Hi All, |

A friend asked me to install "some" operating system on an old Dell laptop |
4 |
he got for free. |

|
6 |
The laptop has a pentium 2 400 MHz, 6 GB HD and 256 MB RAM, and will be used |
7 |
by his young children. |

I have tried to install Edubuntu on it, looks nice, has a lot of very |
10 |
usefull stuff for kids, but it really runs too slow on this machine. |
11 |
|
12 |
So I was thinking Gentoo, optimized for PII, I guess -Os would be a good |
13 |
option for this little machine. Any thoughts anyone? |
14 |
|
15 |
What about the desktop? I guess Gnome or KDE is not really the best choice. |
16 |
But what else could I use? Of course, it's for kids, so I have to be able to |
17 |
make it look nice :-) What would be a good window manager? File manager? |
18 |
Other applications that help to keep it lean an fast? |

Anyone with any experience building such a system under Gentoo? |

Thank you |
